• Rigol reset?

    From Hul Tytus@21:1/5 to All on Sat Feb 17 17:17:26 2024
    I have a Rigol DS1102E, a 2 channel 100mc scope, that is currently
    showing 2 copies of the expected display, one above the other.
    Whether this is a bug or a feature is questionable but reseting
    the scope to a common state would be helpful. Anyone know if this
    is possible and how it's done?

    You have probably put the scope into "Delayed Scan" mode, where the
    lower half of the window shows a magnified view of a portion of the
    full sweep. You might have gotten into this mode via the horizontal
    menu (press horizontal MENU, then select Delayed and then On) or by
    pressing the horizontal scale button. The latter is probably quite
    easy to do by accident.

    You can turn this mode back off via the menu, and (I assume) by
    pressing the horizontal scale button a second time.

    There's also a split-screen mode if the FFT feature is enabled, but
    that doesn't sound like what you're seeing.

    I don't see a complete "system reset" feature anywhere in the manual;
    I might be missing it. If it's there it's probably buried in the
    "Utility" menus somewhere.

    One very handy button on my Rigol is DEFAULT, which turns off all
    sorts of stuff.

    Thanks Dave. I'll go through horizontal menu & see what happens.

    Thanks John, that sounds like what's needed. Where's it
    located?

    Seems like some of the Rigols and some Siglents have a visible DEFAULT
    button, and some don't.

    People enjoy re-inventing user interfaces.
